Anonymity as armor

This space has actual robbers, stalkers, and wrench-attack risk attached to visible wealth, not just internet drama. Staying anonymous isn't paranoia or cringe — it's armor that protects your physical safety and your day job at the same time. Success plus a public identity is a target; success while anonymous is just a number on a screen.

Good anon hygiene is boring and consistent: a separate email and phone number from your real-life accounts, no employer or city mentioned, no geotagged photos, and any face pics scrubbed of identifying detail before they go up.

The good news is you lose nothing by doing this properly. Reputation on this platform is built on output, not on a face — a strong track record of being right, being useful, or being funny compounds the same way whether anyone knows your real name or not. You can build a large following with zero identity leaked.
